Symplectic, product and complex structures on 3-Lie algebras

In this paper, first we introduce the notion of a phase space of a 3-Lie algebra and show that a 3-Lie algebra has a phase space if and only if it is sub-adjacent to a 3-pre-Lie algebra. Then we introduce the notion of a product structure on a 3-Lie algebra using the Nijenhuis condition as the integrability condition. A 3-Lie algebra enjoys a product structure if and only if it is the direct sum (as vector spaces) of two subalgebras. We find that there are four types special integrability conditions, and each of them gives rise to a special decomposition of the original 3-Lie algebra. They are also related to $\huaO$-operators, Rota-Baxter operators and matched pairs of 3-Lie algebras. Parallelly, we introduce the notion of a complex structure on a 3-Lie algebra and there are also four types special integrability conditions. Finally, we add compatibility conditions between a complex structure and a product structure, between a symplectic structure and a paracomplex structure, between a symplectic structure and a complex structure, to introduce the notions of a complex product structure, a para-Kähler structure and a pseudo-Kähler structure on a 3-Lie algebra. We use 3-pre-Lie algebras to construct these structures. Furthermore, a Levi-Civita product is introduced associated to a pseudo-Riemannian 3-Lie algebra and deeply studied.

On non-abelian extensions of 3-Lie algebras

In this paper, we study non-abelian extensions of 3-Lie algebras through Maurer-Cartan elements. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of non-abelian extensions of 3-Lie algebras and equivalence classes of Maurer-Cartan elements in a DGLA. The structure of the Leibniz algebra on the space of fundamental objects is also analyzed.

Cohomology characterizations of non-abelian extensions of Hom-Lie algebras

In this paper, first we show that under the assumption of the center of h being zero, diagonal non-abelian extensions of a regular Hom-Lie algebra g by a regular Hom-Lie algebra h are in one-to-one correspondence with Hom-Lie algebra morphisms from g to Out(h). Then for a general Hom-Lie algebra morphism from g to Out(h), we construct a cohomology class as the obstruction of existence of a non-abelian extension that induce the given Hom-Lie algebra morphism.

Cohomologies, deformations and extensions of n-Hom-Lie algebras

In this paper, first we give the cohomologies of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra and introduce the notion of a derivation of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra. We show that a derivation of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra is a $1$-cocycle with the coefficient in the adjoint representation. We also give the formula of the dual representation of a representation of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra. Then, we study $(n-1)$-order deformation of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra. We introduce the notion of a Hom-Nijenhuis operator, which could generate a trivial $(n-1)$-order deformation of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra. Finally, we introduce the notion of a generalized derivation of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra, by which we can construct a new $n$-Hom-Lie algebra, which is called the generalized derivation extension of an $n$-Hom-Lie algebra.

Cohomological characterizations of non-abelian extensions of strict Lie 2-algebras

In this paper, we study non-abelian extensions of strict Lie 2-algebras via the cohomology theory. A non-abelian extension of a strict Lie 2-algebra $\g$ by $\frkh$ gives rise to a strict homomorphism from $\g$ to $\SOut(\frkh)$. Conversely, we prove that the obstruction of existence of non-abelian extensions of strict Lie 2-algebras associated to a strict Lie 2-algebra homomorphism from $\g$ to $\SOut(\frkh)$ is given by an element in the third cohomology group. We further prove that the isomorphism classes of non-abelian extensions of strict Lie 2-algebras are classified by the second cohomology group.

Derivation Hom-Lie 2-algebras and non-abelian extensions of Hom-Lie algebras

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a derivation of a Hom-Lie algebra and construct the corresponding strict Hom-Lie 2-algebra, which is called the derivation Hom-Lie 2-algebra. As applications, we study non-abelian extensions of Hom-Lie algebras. We show that iso- morphism classes of diagonal non-abelian extensions of a Hom-Lie algebra g by a Hom-Lie algebra h are in one-to-one correspondence with homotopy classes of morphisms from g to the derivation Hom-Lie 2-algebra DER(h).
